Rega 3 with the modified 300 arm if you want not to tweak it.Just set up an let er rip!But I'd look for a used Planar 25 and a RB600 arm.Get a VPI 16.5 cleaning machine and some LAST Preservative and you'll buy few CD's.Lot's of great re-issue wax form comapnies like Classic records and Sundazed.
Help a rookie.... kind of....
I'm not a rookie to audio, I've been enjoying this hobby for almost 25 years. I've decided to get back into analog. I still kept my album collection of about 400 LP's, in my second system. A low rent system albeit, but I kept it nonetheless. It's basically a Technics turntable with a Pioneer receiver and JBL speakers.
I just bought a Classe CP-60 preamp with MM/MC phono section, to go along with my Threshold T400 amp and Vienna Acoustic Beethoven speakers. I'm now looking for a high end entry level analog rig. Here is where I'm a rookie. I don't want to spend more than about $600-800 right now on a 'table,arm and cartridge, used is fine. Where should I start? If satisfied, I may spend more later, but I'm just dipping my toes in the water for now.
Thanks,
John
